Hayduke Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 More respect for Lucia. Now, let's smoke those Canadians! Quote
UND99 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 87? I was thinking he played on the team that had the big brawl where they turned the lights out. Not sure though. Don't qoute me. Then again for some reason I keep thinking he played in a tourney in Switzerland. Greg Johnson played in 1991, the year Lindros dominated in Saskatoon. Quote
smokey the cat Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Greg Johnson played in 1991, the year Lindros dominated in Saskatoon. Played in 84 and coached in 2004. Quote
UND99 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Played in 84 and coached in 2004. Wasn't Sandelin head coach in 2005, the year it was held at The Ralph? Also assisted under Blais at the 2012 tournament. Quote

Wiki says 2004 and 2011. Could just be how they label the years. But USCHO says Blais coached in 2012 so I will go with you on Sandelin coached 2005 and assisted in 2012. Quote
Wilbur Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Lucia has done a fantastic job thus far with the group they have. Attack, attack, attack. Maybe I'm too used to watching UND trying to sit on a lead and chip pucks out and clog up lanes. I like this team's chances. Obviously one more game in the group stage, but I think they'll win the group and play the likes of Russia in the semis. 2 Quote

But USCHO says Blais coached in 2012 so I will go with you on Sandelin coached 2005 and assisted in 2012. Sandelin was definitely '05 at the Ralph. Some news outlet (I can't remember which one) just did a story about the ridiculous talent pool at that tournament, and Sandelin was a frequent interviewee. Quote

Without a doubt that might have been the most talent the tournament has ever seen. Look at the rosters for all of those teams and then look at current NHL rosters. Here's team Canada: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_World_Junior_Ice_Hockey_Championships_rosters Quote

Redneksioux Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Good grief...that whole tournament was loaded with NHL talent. Only way it will ever be that good again is another NHL lockout. If the NHL season was in session I think it's safe to say half of team Canada would not have played in that tournament. I was offered $1000 for my one ticket by multiple Canadians without tickets at the Betty just prior to the championship game. No way I was going to miss that game though. Quote
scpa0305 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Germany beat the Czech, tourney is getting weird! Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Germany beat the Czech, tourney is getting weird! Team USA skated circles around Germany yesterday and the Czech Republic took it to Canada. Maybe the Czechs were buying their own hype after their upset. I can't believe Germany beat them. Quote
jodcon Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Finland beats Russia 3-1, looks like Sweden might be the team to beat...big games tomorrow with Russia playing Sweden and the US playing Canada. Slovakia could give Canada a game today too in about an hour. Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 This tournament sure got interesting. Too bad I'm going to have to miss both semi-final games. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Finland beats Russia 3-1, looks like Sweden might be the team to beat...big games tomorrow with Russia playing Sweden and the US playing Canada. Slovakia could give Canada a game today too in about an hour. Holy buckets...this tournament is wide open. I'm feeling under the weather today...might have to take a sick day tomorrow. Quote
Siouxman Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Holy buckets...this tournament is wide open. I'm feeling under the weather today...might have to take a sick day tomorrow. Extreme cold front moving in tonight. I'm sure you will not want to expose your "under the weather" to the weather. Quote
Hayduke Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Holy buckets...this tournament is wide open. I'm feeling under the weather today...might have to take a sick day tomorrow. Let's practice... *cough* *cough*...yeah, I think I *cough* better *cough* stay *cough* home today...*cough* cough*...(cue sound of hockey game in the background) Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 1-0 Slovaks Uh oh, I think tsn.com will meltdown if they lose to Slovakia. Quote
cberkas Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Uh oh, I think tsn.com will meltdown if they lose to Slovakia. Its tied 1-1 now Quote
jodcon Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Uh oh, I think tsn.com will meltdown if they lose to Slovakia. There were a few saying yesterday they wouldn't make the medal round, if they lose today with the US on deck tomorrow... Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 There were a few saying yesterday they wouldn't make the medal round, if they lose today with the US on deck tomorrow... Canada is in serious trouble if they lose today. Their World Junior team looks like the 1980 Soviets...scared to lose. Quote
